Listening Practice

Here are two great sites with free programs to listen or watch. They're great for students of English who are practicing English, or anyone who just wants to hear a good story.

This American Life is a public radio show that does programs on different themes each week. You can listen to past episodes online for free from their website or subscribe via podcast. I listen to this show often. Here is one of my favorites: Break Up

TED.com publishes videos of talks from its conferences on technology, entertainment, and design. You will notice many famous names and faces! Here's one I watched recently:




Have a favorite show from one of these sites or another site that you go to? Post in the comments!

  1. Good performance. She is telling very proper things. Everybody just has to do his job and not be smug about it.
    Hope her speech will help you all during composition part of the final exam)...

  6. Yes,Katie. Their break-up stories are a little sad but the songs which I'm still listening sound very good for me,too.
